Doctors in the US generally won't prescribe medications they deem unnecessary, but there's a few issue that reduce the effectiveness of that. Two big ones are: 1. If an individual sees drug advertisements with particular symptoms

A prime reason why other constellations have been deployed or are currently being deployed, such as GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (EU), and BaiDu (China). India I believe also has their own, but it's not global, just regional.

Yes, but then it's all or nothing. In advanced mode you can have a global configuration to block all third party scripts and frames, and then allow scripts from specific domains (or neutralize the global deny for that domain, so that b

That's a really good point, they'll be able to place VPN endpoints near their CDN endpoints and minimize additional latency, while still knowing the client's original IP for filtering, analytics, and providing geography based

I also use Resilio Sync for distributing backups with encrypted peers, but I use Borg to backup into the folder for compression, de-duplication, and really easy PIT recovery. I've also added rdiff-backup on one of the encrypted peers i

That is also true, but that is something that can be mitigated and resolved with government policies. However, that is unlikely to happen effectively in societies that have a work as a core component of personal value as they will say &quot

People still fear the "robots will take all of our jobs!" dialogue. Many societies still have work as a core component of personal value, so the idea of people having to work less doesn't translate to "Great, I can let t

I think that's fine, because then you know that at least the wallets still exist. I wonder how many bitcoins are forever gone from the early days when they were literally cheaper than dirt. I know I had some and failed to backup the wa

Minor addendum: Unless you decide on a plan whose cost is greater than the base plan provided by the employer, in which case the difference is deducted from your salary.

Having looked into this before, the big issue is actually the web scraping. If you don't mind pulling the data manually there's software like GNUCash that can do not only what Mint does but even more. Maintaining the web scraping

There are a few companies that rank educational institutions and their programs by various metrics. "Top" programs are just the ones that tend to be at the top of those rankings. For MBAs, Harvard, Stanford, and UPenn's Whart

That's true if an IP only serves requests for a single domain. With ESNI it's now possible to connect to a server that hosts services for multiple domains without the domain being divulged in the clear on the wire.

I think it depends on who you're trying to protect against. While using DoT to a public resolver gives the public resolver the ability to build a history of your queries, running a recursive resolver yourself means anyone who's wa

Probably better to withdraw and eat the penalty then, inflation will make it worth peanuts by the time I'm 65.

I left the US recently with a few thousand in an HSA (a pre-tax account designated for healthcare expenses). I have no idea how I'm going to get that out of there now.

Actually, if we assume the previously posted £10,000/year, and three years for a Bachelor's they'd have a £30,000 debt. Assuming no interest, since it's only the amount over £25,725 that's taxed they'd have to

Either the server is sending pushes through APNS or the client is simply not getting messages reliably when the screen is locked or the app backgrounded, as the network restrictions very much apply to those clients as well (and to everythin

Yes. It's sort of like using undocumented API calls: even if it's been unchanged for a decade, if it's undocumented it can change at any time without the usual deprecation warnings and versioning considerations. Text output,

There's a big difference between the two. Tax evasion is breaking the law to pay less tax. Tax avoidance is working within the confines of the law to pay less tax. Putting money in a retirement account is a form of tax avoidance, but i

There's many valid reasons for accumulating profits, such as planning buyouts or expansions. That being said, sometimes it can be done for reasons such as waiting for a preferable tax regime. Due to that, some countries have a separate

One of the options I've thought of (and I'm sure many others have as well) is to have all zones distributed in a P2P manner via ICANN. To not put too much burden on ICANN and keep things decentralized, have ICANN at the root of th

Are they disabling suites that don't use DH exchanges on the clients? Maybe I'm behind, but I can't imagine that happening on any major client.

At least for local development, disable the cipher suites with a DH key exchange and configure wireshark to use the private key.

I believe SCTP would fill in for that use case. For server-server communications there shouldn't be a problem, but I recall there's issues with client support & firewall rules, and I don't know if that status on that has
